Is it true that all metals in the Periodic table must give out their outer electron to nonmetals?

Question

While the nonmetals will have to recieve the the outer shell electrons so that they can they can become stable?

Answer 1

One of the characteristics of a metal is that it is an element that readily gives up electrons to form cations.

(The other 3 characteristics are a. lustrous appearance (shiny) , b. malleable (can be bent, and pulled into a thin wire) and c. good conductors of electricity and heat.

So the answer is yes. By definition the acceptors of electrons are non-metals. When non-metals accept electrons they will become more stable - with the greatest stability coming when the outer shells are full.

Answer 2

the biggest distinction between metals and nonmetals is that metals tend to be steel in nature, while nonmetals at the instant are not. additionally, metals tend to be very difficult while in comparison with nonmetals that are often very delicate. as an occasion evaluate the steel element sixteen, Iron to the nonmetal element 11, Softium. ultimately, the electron shape of the two differs markedly with the electrons of metals tending to be difficult and steel, whilst the electrons of nonmetals tend to be delicate and nonmetallic.

Answer 3

of course .. since metals contain less than half the number of electrons in the outermost energy level so they lose them to be stable... and nonmetals contain more than half the number of electrons in the outermost shell , so they gain electrons to complete the outermost shell and become stable.
but there is some exceptions to that rule .

Answer 4

Yes, it is true,every element intend to become stable,neither by loosing electron or by accepting electron

Answer 5

Maybe.
